Thistledown 9/2

Race 1: #3 STEFAPIANO REWARD has shown her best when dipping in for tags; was moving well late last time. (BTW: Kenneth Marshall is 30% Mdn to MdnClm.) 6/3*/2/4 ($3.80)

Race 2 Interesting field of Buckeye babies: #6, pp7 WEST LEONARD is the fastest of those that have run. #3 TIZ A RUSH returns to maiden company. (BTW: CAPT BILLY BUD is also entered in next Monday’s fourth race. Kenneth Marshall is 3-2-1-0 with 2yo first time starters at this meet; all have been well bet.) 3*dq-2nd/6*pl-1st/4/1a ($5.40)

Race 3: Both three-quarter local tries by #6 DAYJUR HOOQ have been relatively sharp; was squeezed along the rail last time; sits outside early competition today. Tough bunch to separate. 6*/3/7/1 ($3.00)

Race 4: #2, pp1 MEDIA STAR came off the bench running last fall; has been working forwardly. 4/3/7/1 ($5.80)

Race 5: Clear class of the field #2 BRAVE ACT qualifies for this condition on a technicality; cross your fingers moving back to dirt; Jeff Radosevich 11-2-1-3 shipping PID to TDN. 1/6/4/2* ($13.40)

Race 6: Her Cleveland debut went so smoothly that it’s easy to believe that #3 SPRING CITY GAL is ready to take on these winners. 3*/4/6/2 ($8.60)

Race 7: #7 JOHANNA’S DELIGHT would be a big surprise but the return to a realistic level coupled with his running style behind a potential speed duel could light up a struggling barn. 4/5/1/3 ($8.60)

Race 8 Wide open crew of bottom feeders: #4 SABBIADORO may have built up some stamina in her first two races after eight months away from the races. 5/7/10/11 ($70.00)
